II’ve tried to put a link into an announcement to no avail. I have given Administrators permission to use HTML but it still is not working. Am I missing a step? Thanks.

Did you enable "Allow HTML" option in the announcement settings itself? -
You need to place a space between the a and href in your tag. There is no valid HTML tag ahref... It is <a href="link">Translations provided by Google.

Ok, I fixed the HtML. It is now blue but when i click on it, nothing happens.
Here's what's in the announcement.
<a href=“https://awakening-together.org/classes/introduction-to-buddhism/“>Click here for more info</a
Here is the page it shows up on...https://www.awakening-together.org/forum/index.php

The link is malformed when viewing in my browser
<a href="“https://awakening-together.org/classes/introduction-to-buddhism/“">Click here for more info</a>
Note the extra quotes around the URL.
Unrelated, but there's a bunch of mixed content warnings on your homepage as well, like this one:
SEC7137: [Mixed-Content] The origin 'https://www.awakening-together.org' was loaded in a secure context and loaded an optionally blockable insecure image resource at 'http://awakening-together.org/forum/forum_icons/gen-discuss-icon-64x64.png'.

It appears that you are creating your code in an app or device that uses the fancier UTF-8 "curly quotes". These cannot be used in HTML. You should always use a text editor like Microsoft Visual Studio Code to handle this. You can even get extensions for Visual Studio Code so you can preview your HTML right in the editor to make sure it works.Translations provided by Google.

I rewrote the text with a text editor. No luck. Then I have a Notice with a hyperlink that works so I copied it and put it in the Announcement and still it doesn't work. Seems there is something in Announcements that is preventing the link from working.You can see it works in Notices but not in Announcements.

I would suggest using Notices. You have more functionality and they automatically show on every page.Translations provided by Google.
